The catalogue of intimacies is expanding. First, we had “oblique intimacy”. Now we have whatever this is: “drive-by intimacy”, “Doppler intimacy”? I expect there’s 5-7 to be found, but in true Thickety fashion I shan’t look for them.
I see weird fragmentary views of conversations flow by. But it’s oddly relaxing instead of fomo inducing. It feels okay to not know what the he ll others are going on about. Half the streams are semi-solipsistic. It feels like eavesdropping on self-talk more than listening to intentional communications. Like bird song and critter noises on a nature walk.
